Very nice mix here. Itís certainly all barrel, with wine mostly and a little whiskey, but wine is predominant. Not much of the original Old Engine in this - all barrel -- but in this case the original beer wasnít much to start with. A light note of roast, but canít get a sense of the original beer here beyond barrels. Tap at Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont.

I guess this is the correct entry. On tap at Belmont. Only listed as wine barrel aged. ABV fits, as does the descriptions. pours a dark brown color with a small white head. A huge vinous red wine nose with chocolates. The flavor is dominated by tart grape tannins, oak, some cocoa, light roast. Very interesting. Good.

Draft at ChurchKey. Pours a deep black with a small light beige head and good lacing. Nose and flavor are lovely, with vinous wine barrel character melding with the inherent roasted malt, cocoa, and baking chocolate of the base beer. One of the more balanced Zymatore beers Iíve tried thus far; this really works.
